The Zamfara chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has concluded arrangements to welcome Governor Dauda Lawal into the party formally.
This is contained in a statement on Saturday by the state APC publicity secretary, Yusuf Idris.
Mr Lawal recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling APC.
According to the statement, the formal reception, scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, will be attended by President Bola Tinubu, whom Vice President Kashim Shettima will represent.
“Shettima will be accompanied by the national executives of the party, as well as the immediate past governors of Zamfara and other major stakeholders of the party in the state.
“Similarly, other APC governors, National Assembly members and other top-notch members of the APC within and outside the state are expected to attend.
“The party has already strategised on how to mobilise supporters across the board in order to ensure a smooth and successful reception for the governor,” it added.
The statement further said various committees had also been formed to ensure a hitch-free reception in the state.
“Therefore, the party appeals to all members, supporters and well-wishers to come out en masse and welcome our amiable President Bola Tinubu, who will be represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima,” it pleaded.
